A holiday fest offering gourmet foods, over 40 wines and nearly 20 bourbons will take over The Grand Lawn at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort on Saturday afternoon.

The resort’s “Merry & Bright: A Sandestin Gourmet Holiday Fest” takes place Dec. 16 from 3-6 p.m. and features wine and liquor tastings from top vineyards and distilleries.
Full bottles can also be purchased at discounted prices.

A special auction bottle of 10-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is up for bid, with all proceeds going to benefit The Sandestin Foundation for Kids charity. Other featured bourbons include selections from Remus, Garrison Brothers and Stagg.

On the wine side, Prisoner, Frank Family Vineyards, Daou, Beaulieu Vineyard’s Tapestry label and Stags Leap Cellars will be open for tasting. The event venue along Florida’s Emerald Coast will offer bite-sized holiday foods to complement the flights.

Niceville-native Jared Herzog, from NBC’s “The Voice” as part of John Legend’s team, will provide live musical entertainment.

In addition to the wine and food tastings for adults, family-friendly activities include photos with Santa Claus, a holiday arts and crafts corner for children along with nonalcoholic drinks.

The public is welcome to attend. Tickets are $75 for attendees ages 21 and up, which includes all food and drink tastings. Guests ages 13-20 can take part for $35 with food tastings and nonalcoholic beverages, while admission for children 12 and under is just $25.
